Arsenal have reportedly made a £10million offer for Napoli defender Faouzi Ghoulam.
That is according to MediaSet who say the Gunners want to take the 24-year-old to the Emirates.
He made 21 Serie A appearances last term, but 10 of those came off the bench.
Ghoulam could provide cover for Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal at left-back.
Mourinho is understood to have the player on his radar, but Wenger has nipped ahead of Blues by launching a bid for his services.
